24 Hours Away From My Rebirth

Tomorrow is the day for me. Surgery starts at 8:30 am. This has been an amazing journey so far, I enjoyed following each of your stories and now my very own will take form. For those who have never been overweight, it's impossible for them to understand what makes us a family. They will never really know what this transformation means on a spiritual or psychological level. There are no words to describe what it feels like not to fit in a chair, or to get stuck. The fear of flying because you know you will spill over into the next seat. Excluding yourself from vacations because you know you can't ride the rides. As I fade into my medically induced sleep, I will be checking out of personal prison built with pounds of fat, and checking into the half way house of life.

I hope to see you all there!!!

I know the feelings going thru your mind right now! It was 13 short days ago for me! You will be fine and you will join this elite group of "losers" tmrw! All the best to you both!

My surgery is also scheduled for tomorrow. Waiting for hospital to call with a time. As the day goes on today, I'm sure the nerves will kick in. Good luck to you. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you all for your words of wisdom , as the minutes pass, I'm turning into a basket case. Thank God the doctor said I can have Tylenol pm so I can sleep tonight. I'm trying to remember everything. I'm gonna get a cheap DVD player so I can watch movies. St Vincent's gives you the morphine pump, so my coworkers keep telling me I'll be too high to care what's on TV.

God speed to everyone that's going under tomorrow as well. We will all wake up in victory tomorrow!!!

Good luck tomorrow!!
